Connecting smart objects in a wireless manner can establish an Internet of Things (IoT) smart space. However, a variety of wireless technologies have been embedded into smart objects that they cannot exchange information since they apply different standards. To provide information exchange in heterogeneous networks, this paper designs an IoT multi-interface gateway, which can be used in some sm...

The objectives of this contribution are to demonstrate the results of case study that has been conducted to test the usability of Android and Apple Smartphone. This case study covers features such as operating system, applications, battery life, hardware structure, and online websites. Questionnaires were used to gather user responses on aforementioned features. Users provide their answers base...

Smart-phone users can search for information about surrounding facilities or a route to their destination. However, it is difficult to get or search for information while walking because of low legibility. To address this problem, users have to stop walking or enlarge the screen. Our previously proposed system for smart-phone switches the information presentation policies in response to the use...

This paper is focused on a machine-learning approach for estimating human energy expenditure during sport and normal daily activities. The paper presents technical feasibility assessment that analyses requirements and applicability of smart phone sensors to human energy expenditure. The paper compares and evaluates three different sensor configuration sets: (i) a heart rate monitor and two stan...

Personalisation in smart phones requires adaptability to dynamic context based on user mobility, application usage and sensor inputs. Current personalisation approaches, which rely on static logic that is developed a priori, do not provide sufficient adaptability to dynamic and unexpected context. This paper proposes genetic programming (GP), which can evolve program logic in realtime, as an on...

Android Operating system in smart mobiles is a most popular OS in all over the world. However, failure in hardware and software in smartphone is a matter of concern for all of its users. The effect of failure leads to problem in mobiles, customer dissatisfaction, cost ineffective, poor marketing for manufacturer etc. The cause and effect of failure analysis will help the user and manufacturer t...

mobile phones, mobile phone base stations, cordless phones and power lines are among the main sources of our daily exposures to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (rf-emf). today, a large proportion of children aged eight and under has used smart phones and tablets for media activities such as playing online games, watching videos or using different applications. over the past several years,...

Field studies on arthropod ecology and behaviour require simple and robust monitoring tools, preferably with direct access to an integrated database. We have developed and here present a database tool allowing smart-phone based monitoring of arthropods. This smart phone application provides an easy solution to collect, manage and process the data in the field which has been a very difficult tas...

Detection of environmental contamination such as trace-level toxic heavy metal ions mostly relies on bulky and costly analytical instruments. However, a considerable global need exists for portable, rapid, specific, sensitive, and cost-effective detection techniques that can be used in resource-limited and field settings. Here we introduce a smart-phone-based hand-held platform that allows the ...
